		/// Basically it can be described as the Irrlicht Software renderer on steroids. It rasterizes
		/// 3D geometry perfectly: It is able to perform correct 3d clipping, perspective 
		/// correct texture mapping, perspective correct color mapping, and renders 
		/// sub pixel correct, sub texel correct primitives. In addition, it does
		/// bilinear texel filtering and supports more materials than the EDT_SOFTWARE driver.
		/// This renderer has been written entirely by Thomas Alten, thanks a lot for this huge
		/// contribution.
